I think that it could be a power savings - not having to broadcast the
beacon when available but unconnected for long periods..

Out of curiosity, why do you want this feature? The most common reason for
not broadcasting the ssid is for "security" reasons. But not broadcasting
the SSID actually makes the security situation worse, not better.

I don't think this is currently possible from the UI. I'm not sure if the
drivers support this either. Note that if you are using the hotspot (ie,
connected) sniffers can easily find the ssid. Most people don't turn on
tethering and leave it unused for long periods as it will reduce battery
life
Hi all,
Is it possible to disable the broadcasting of the SSID of the mobile
hotspot (tethering)?
I didn't see any device support this features. And i want to add this
feature to hide the hotspot ssid. So other don't know a hotspot is being
used.
Thanks advanced.
